It was supposed to be all sleek and space-savey by popping up out of the center console. (You would pull it straight up, and then the part that held your drink would tip over to the right.) Instead, all it meant was that your drink would end up in your lap if you took a right turn too fast. I can’t tell you how many times I walked into work or church looking like I’d peed myself in the car on the way over. I learned to drink only Sprite when driving so at least it wouldn’t look like diarrhea which is what happened if it was Coke on light-colored pants.

Safety ratings and design of cup holders are the two main things I look for in a car – not necessarily in that order. We had no cup holders growing up (sad), then my mom bought one of those plastic console things that had cup holders and a place to store your 8-tracks but it would slide all over the car and flip over – shoes are better than those things were…for drinks, not 8-tracks. I don’t know how big your foot would have to be that your shoe could hold a collection of 8-tracks. Probably really big.
